Chapter 677: The True Life Leaf
Chen Qing watched Xing Lu's figure disappear through the hall doors, then withdrew his gaze and looked again at the five panels before him.
He calculated quickly in his mind.
The Ten Thousand Trees Flourish and Wither Technique, in terms of life-preserving capability alone, was the greatest among the five.
With a single True Life Leaf taking death on one's behalf while the practitioner escaped through the flow of vital force, the methods of opponents in the Primordial Spirit realm grew increasingly unpredictable and strange, and the exceptional talents cultivated by those ancient Dao traditions each had killing techniques kept at the bottom of their repertoire.
If one could not even preserve one's life, no matter how exceptional the Spear Dao or how high the cultivation, it would all be for nothing.
"This one first," Chen Qing pressed his fingertip lightly against the panel for the Ten Thousand Trees Flourish and Wither Technique.
The panel rippled in a ring, and the jade slip floated out of its slot and settled into his palm.
He then turned and walked to the east wall, taking down the jade slip that recorded the complete Mystic Yellow Spear Inscription as well.
Chen Qing walked to the green-stone counter just inside the hall doors and presented both jade slips along with his identity token.
